Noob question

Dying of hunger. I found/bought food but have no idea how to get my character to consume it. I can access it in my inventory....drop it...but thats it. Any tips would be helpful. Thankyou.

You need to either right-click on it and consume or if that's say potatoes those can't be eaten straight away, you need to make up a camp. Camp icon on the global map, right side. And cook it on the fire.

I have some preserved fish and meat in my inventory. Tried left clicking and right clicking on them. Theres 2 little hand symbols that appear one says drop and one says use. tries both of them but nothing happens.

Something should happen when you select ´use´

You can also go to a camp when on the global map (and not on a location) and prepare food there by clicking on the campfire.

There's 2 kinds of food, one that you can eat as is, and the other you need access to a cooking pit to use. Rule of thumb is to get the Enthomologist skill from the fisherman in Otradnoye and carry some meat you get from animals (remember to always have a knife with you). Eating meat using campfires early game will make for your number 2 source of healing (apart from feeding 1200pts) apart from going to the town's doctor who works for free.

1. Cook food on campfire - character eat it instantly. 2 Consume food from inventory - hold right click, select "use". 3. Take it in 1st or 2nd hand, left click than select your character.

There are different kind of foods

-Food to consume right of the bat like canned food, some vegies aso.
-Food that needs to be cooked like potatos, corn and some other stuff.

Best way to get fed: Collect raw meat travel on the world map a tiny bit and press the campfire button at the lower right corner of you screen. This spawns useable campfire where you can roast your meat to loose a hugue ammount of hunger.

Fishing. Easiest way to feed and heal.

You can use animal parts for fishing or you can make bait by combining mushroom, corn and nails.

If memory serves me right cooked fish heals the most among food.

Also you get more xp out of cooking and fishing. For example on expert cooking and eating a three eyed trout yields 22 xp and +1 STR for some time. Also cathing it yield 11xp.

Thanks for all the replies. I can now eat food that needs to be cooked so I wont starve. Still cant eat food that doesn't need to be prepared ( cooked). So I have made progress. Thanks again .

If at campfire I click raw red meat i see 2 options use and drop. If I choose "use", the raw meat gets eaten. I want to roast it, how? If i click the campfire i get choices to make tea or warm up canned meat. The raw fish and meat in inventory is not mentioned

[Killeon]

You should be able to use raw meat in the campfire if you have it in your inventory, the same goes for raw fish and by that I mean fishes that have a specific name, not the "smoked fish" or something like that.
Also you can't roast red meat and take it with you in your inventory, but you could combine it with salt to get corned meat.
